Several exciting new expansions are included in this year’s conference. Due to increased interest and 2020’s success, we will continue the Leadership Institute on October 7 at 8:30 am-5:00 pm MST. Whether you are an aspirational leader or seasoned supervisor, this year’s program is sure to inspire innovation and insightful discussion of ways to apply practical leadership to your daily work serving our communities.

Additionally, we are excited to host a Pre-Conference workshop, Reimagining School Readiness, on October 6 from 11 am-3 pm MST. This interactive, hands-on workshop comes to us thanks to a partnership with Colorado State Library, and is a project of the Bay Area Discovery Center (CA), funded by IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services). Participants will be introduced to the Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit<https://bayareadiscoverymuseum.org/resources/educator-resources/library-toolkit>, a suite of research-backed resources created for library staff to help families prepare children ages birth to 8 for success in school and in life.

CLEL is also providing an opportunity for volunteers to edit the captions of two hours of recorded conference sessions. Volunteers will receive free attendance to all 3 days of the event. Library staff, volunteers, and students, including non-Colorado residents, are all eligible for this opportunity. Please complete the application by September 6 before registering for the conference here: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6449762/2021-CLEL-Conference-Volunteer-Application. Applicants will be notified by email by September 10 about the status of their application.

All sessions will have live captioning and all but the preconference will be recorded. If you require additional accommodations or have any other questions, please contact us at info at clel.org<mailto:info at clel.org>. Thank you so much again for everything you do to support early literacy -- we look forward to seeing everyone October 6-8!

Warmly,

CLEL Steering Committee
